Plus there's also medical care for the dog. Both yearly checkups (with shots) and any emergencies that come up.
Most pure breeds have rescue organizations that you can get dogs thru, but, rightfully so, they are pretty intensive processes, kind of like adopting a child. These rescue organizations love their animals, and aren't going to give a dog to just anyone.
All over the web are surveys you can take about both what pet is right for you and what breed of dog is right for you.
